What is PEEP?
PEEP is an early learning
intervention which aims to improve the life chances of
children by offering essential information and key ideas about
supporting children's learning in the first five years from
birth to school. Recognising that children learn most at home
in the early years, the focus is on very early communication
skills - the foundations of later literacy - and children's
social and emotional development. The programme is about
making the most of everyday life with babies and young
children, and having fun. It builds on what parents already
do, recognising babies' and young children's extraordinary
capacity to learn. The programme supports parents' confidence,
children's self esteem and educational attainment and
life-long learning.
Who would benefit from PEEP?
All children can benefit from
the PEEP programme and parents who want to extend their
knowledge and skills in interacting with their children can
have the opportunity to do so in a relaxed but professionally
supported environment.
Where are PEEP groups run?
Programmes are run in many
education nurseries, early years centres and some Sure Start
groups.
What format does the programme
take?
Groups are run within
nurseries, generally once a week. Supporting materials include
extensive written materials in folder format accompanied by
video material.
